SignalForge

Voice in the Storm

Community-powered radio monitoring for Yukon, Oklahoma and beyond. No towers. No licenses. No gatekeepers. Just people keeping the signal alive.

Why We're Here

This started with a simple idea: Yukon deserved a public GMRS repeater — a reliable community radio hub that would keep neighborhoods connected when cell towers go dark and power grids fail. We put together the proposal, found the tower, reached out to the city.

The city didn't answer. The tower owner went quiet. The project stalled.

Getting ghosted didn't kill the idea. It sharpened it. If we couldn't own the infrastructure, we'd build something that didn't need it.

P7 Scanner is what came next — a software-defined radio monitoring platform where community members contribute scanner, repeater, SDR, or streamed audio sources. No tower lease. No $5,800 equipment budget. No waiting on a committee. Every person who runs a recorder node expands the network.

No Infrastructure Required

Distributed architecture. Feed audio from a radio, scanner, SDR setup, or existing stream.

Community Owned

Every contributor shapes the network. No single point of control.

Always Resilient

Built for the moments when conventional systems go silent.

P7 Recorder

P7 Recorder is the desktop client that connects local audio to the P7 Scanner network. Run it on a machine with a radio feed, scanner output, SDR setup, or any compatible audio source and start contributing to your community's feed.

The Network

The original goal was a repeater at every Yukon landmark — a cohesive signal network stitched across the city. The hardware approach hit walls. The software approach has no walls.

Every P7 Scanner instance is a node. Every recorder running is a signal source. Contributors in Yukon, in OKC, anywhere — each one extends the reach of the network without a single piece of shared infrastructure.

The city didn't give us the tower. So we built something that doesn't need one.

If you want to contribute a scanner node, run the recorder and reach out. SignalForge is community infrastructure — and you're the infrastructure.
